Dante Malebranche
*I sit in my office with Tess by my side. She insisted on being present for this meeting and I couldnt deny her. She is Rafe's mother and she has every right to be here. Tonight we will have a better idea of what the hell happened to our son. I know he is a thoroughly trained warrior and something about this situation seems off.*
Tess Culver Malebranche *Sitting
beside Dante bouncing my leg, I need to hear how Rafe was injured. I
promised to keep as quiet as I can and not interfere with the meeting.
Hearing a knock at the door, I look over at Dante.*
Dante Malebranche *I hear the knock at the door and immediately know that the young warriors have arrived* Come on in
Julian Webb *Entering
Dante's office, I reached out to shake his hand, and inclined my head
in respect to Tess* Thank you for seeing us this evening, we have been
looking forward to discussing the situation that happened the other
night. We would also like to get your feed back on what we saw.
Dante Malebranche I
shake Julian's and Eli's hands and cut to the chase right away* Julian,
Elijah I have requested this meeting to go over what happened on your
last mission. Tess is here for obvious reasons. We are still unclear
about what happened and how one of our warriors; in this case our son
Rafe, was hurt. Take a seat and please tell us what happened.
Elijah Breed Sir,
Julian, Rafe and I were tasked by Gideon to investigate an abnormal
situation concerning rogues. We arrived and saw eight or so suckheads
attacking a number of humans. We intervened and while we engaged them ,
one rogue jumped Rafe from behind and stabbed him.
Julian Webb The
one that jumped him, stabbed him with a serrated blade. *Thinking for a
moment, I looked Dante in the eyes, thinking of the right words to say*
They seemed organized, like they were almost like a human gang. Have
you ever in all your time had anything like this happen? Something
definitely was off about them, but in my years of fighting I have never
dealt with something like that before.
Dante Malebranche *I
sit back on my chair, analyzing what I have just heard* So it was your
impression that those rogues were organized? Like working together on an
ambush? * I pause, reflecting on Julian's words* In all my years of
fighting rogues, I have never seen something
like that but for one time. We once blew to hell a nest of rogues that
were living together in an old asylum. I never believed I would see that
again. That spells a lot of trouble for The Order...
Tess Culver Malebranche *Listening
to how my son was attacked and the mention of a "gang-like" formation,
my mind races to find a possible reason this would happen. Clearing my
throat,* Dante, if at all possible, could you make sure I get a sample
of blood?
Dante Malebranche A
blood sample? You think it could be...? I'd like to wait till Rafe is
fully recovered, want to go with him to the scene of the attack. So
tomorrow night. We will have our answers and a little revenge. *To the
young warriors* Gentlemen, this will be all. Thanks for coming here
tonight. My son and I will get the answers we seek very soon.
Dante Malebranche The
next night, I go over to the infirmary looking for Rafe. His mother
made sure I did wait for him to completely recover before returning to
the scene of his attack with Julian.* Rafe, I hope you feel well, boy.
Im itching to take a look at the site of the ambush. Hopefully we'll get
some answers there.
Rafe Malebranche *I
sat up, throwing off the blanket as I swung my legs over the side of
the bed.* I'm just fine. Mom made me stay here longer than I really
needed to. She's one person you don't argue with though. Let's get to
this. I wanna know what the hell happened back there. *I stood up, Dad
steadying me with a hand on my shoulder and we headed down to the locker
room to get ready*
Julian Webb *I
had been up getting ready for awhile since today was pay back day.
Standing decked out in full warrior mode, I waited for Dante and Rafe. I
crossed my arms leaning nonchalantly against the SUV* ready guys?
Dante Malebranche *Julian
drives us to the alley behind The Dome. It was dark and seedy but
otherwise unimpressive. I get out of the SUV followed by the two
warriors. I take a look around the deserted alley and notice what seemed
to be an abandoned warehouse not too far away. Convenient.* Rafe, son
please tell me again how everything happened...
Rafe Malebranche *We
went down the alley, and I pointed to where the humans were being
drained* The humans were there.....being drained. Julian, Elijah and I
all went into full fight mode, and I went that way. *I indicated the
spots I was speaking about* That's where I got knifed
Julian Webb *Scanning
the alley* Rafe, remember that they came from that direction, there
isn't much further down but warehouses and a shelter. *Hearing something
in the distance, pointing * Rogue straight ahead climbing that fire
escape
Dante Malebranche *
I smile a savage grin when I notice two more rogues after the one
climbing the fire escape. Unsheathing my Malebranche blades, I turn to
the boys* One for each. Let's take them down. SILENTLY. And remember
Tess is expecting a blood sample from us. Let's go.* Using my breed
speed and stealth, I reach the first one and place my hand on his mouth*
Hello, suck head. Going somewhere?
Rafe Malebranche *The
second rogue swiped at me as I stepped to the side. I growled low. I
grabbed him by the throat and held him against the wall of the alley. I
was going to take things slow, let him bleed out. It may not have been
the right way to do it, but I was out
for blood and right then, that's all I cared about. I had a set of
malebranche blades on my free hand and very slowly pushed them into his
side. dragging it up his rib cage. The Rogue screamed, or tried to
anyway, but I squeezed his throat.*
Julian Webb *Taking
the last rogue, I grabbed him from behind, throwing him across the
alley. Pulling throwing blades, throwing them quickly. Running up to
him, I kicked the three blades deeper into his flesh, wanting to get
payback for my friend. Punching the rogue several times, I pulled the
blades, ending his life with a swift blow*
Dante Malebranche Looking
around, I see that the young ones have finished their targets
flawlessly. Still holding the terrified rogue, I search my pocket for
the syringe Tess gave me. Without any kind of warning, I bury it on the
rogue's carotid and pull the plunger. When it is full, I save it in my
pocket and slice the rogues throat with my blade.* Die, you bastard.
Rafe Malebranche *I
finished carving up the Rogue, slowly, and as painfully as possible, He
slumped to the ground, dead, and I just walked out of the alley to the
car. Dad made sure to put the syringe into the cooler and we headed back
to the compound. I knew Dad would take care of the sample so I headed
back to my own quarters to clean up*
